3. D. Hutchinson worked three seasons with Chris Berg, Inc. in the 1980's cleaning up the island. The "prop and airport sign" are located near the air terminal. Many of the war relics were removed from the island during the cleanup effort. (D. Hutchinson) (Note: Since I received this image from D. Hutchinson, I've received an interesting email from another previous resident of Amchitka: "The picture # 3 on the W.W. II site of the propeller and welcome sign was placed there by myself and family. We were stationed on Amchitka with the Aleutian Is. National Wildlife Refuge. I was the Maintenance Engineer there from 1975 through 1978. At that time there was a population of 6 on the island year round and my family made up 3 of the six. We were raising Aleutian Canada Geese as part of an endangered species project, which we are happy to say was successful and has brought the Aleutian Goose off the endangered list and back to a recovering state. We were the first inhabitances to reoccupy the island after the A.E.C. abandoned the site. We really enjoyed living in a part of history that is little known to the majority of the population of the US. Regards; Jim, Nancy, and Tiffany Coffey.")
